45 Laziest Times When Individuals Shared Their "Not My Job" Moments Via Pictures, and They’re Quite Hilarious
You're a person, not a perniciously compliant robot who follows orders precisely as they are given.
Some people treat instructions like a suggestion, and the results can be hilarious. That is exactly why the r/NotMyJob subreddit keeps pulling in people who love a good lazy fix, a sloppy finish, or a job done with almost no effort at all.
In this roundup, the pictures speak for themselves, from crooked installs and half-finished signs to tiny mistakes that somehow made it out into the world. The people behind these moments clearly did the bare minimum, and that is what makes the whole thing so entertaining.
Keep scrolling, because a few of these “not my job” moments are so bad they are almost impressive.

There is no limit to what we humans can do and achieve. The one that got me laughing out loud is the part where the person just wanted a view and some air.
